I'll worry about that later.)My idea is to complicate the end of the 6th adventure by having Seobriga in the hands of Pemberton's mechanical army.  But the wily old dragon has underestimated the determination of the Berans, and has reckoned without an old friend of the PCs who has a score to settle with Tinker and a knack for construct control.</blockquote>
